Melanie Ilic, Department of Humanities, University of Gloucestershire, UK, on 6-7 September 2012 organized international conference "The Soviet Past in the Post-Soviet Present: Ethics of Oral History and Memory Studies". The conference had its origins in a roundtable discussion at the ICCEES VIII World Congress in Stockholm in July 2010 on ‘Researching Women’s Lives: Official Perspectives and Lived Experience’. The roundtable touched on a number of as yet unexplored issues relating to the ethics of conducting oral history when researching women’s lives in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Read more in the articles: Melanie Ilic: Vilnius Conference and Kelly Highnett: The View East Central and Eastern Europe, Past and Present
